I swear some maps have a higher chance to be sent to
Theres so many maps in this game yet i only seem to play on the shittiest ones mostly including nostromo for some reason, the game (still pallet hell years later omfg bhvr), and badham (#########). why

Why is the Ghoul Allowed to be so Ridiculously Obnoxious?
Seriously, has the Dev Team every said anything on the matter of that squirming Twink? The Ghoul gets the following: - A free initial injury Applied by Hit-Scan. - Deep Wounds on free first Injury. - A Super Mode that can be indefinitely extended And Doesn't get removed on Hook for some godawful reason. - Insane Map…

Stop using Trappers kill rate as an excuse to not buff him
As time goes on and more killers get added and more tier lists are being made, their is one constant and that Trapper is always at the bottom of the hierarchy. Its no secret to those with functioning eyes and working thumbs that Trapper is god awful to play and even unplayable on certain maps, if you spawn on a map like…

Can 2025 PLEASE be the last year to release high mobility killers?
I play both sides with about a 60/40 ratio (survivor/killer) and if I were to play 10 surv games, at least 7 of them will be either a ghoul, blight, spirit, or nurse with a decent chance of maybe encountering a dracula, krasue, vecna, or billy. The first four that were mentioned are often regarded as the top killers,…

No mither is a major doom perk
Now I'm not trying to dog on anyone who uses it because I get it, it's a perk and you wanna use it for fun. I mean heck I use self care this was mostly because no one bothered healing me so I just screw it and brought it with botany. But I just can't get the appeal of it. Your permanently injured, you give a killer like…

Bring Back Distortion
Aura, aura, aura, aura, aura, how i am supposed to hide? every single killer every time know wherer u are because the killers have a lot os aura reading perks. Honestly why distortion was nerfed? just 1 perk for a decent counter to aura reading. Im tired

When will we hear ANYTHING from the devs, mods etc regarding tunneling?
every since that update didn’t go through- killers have been so annoying with the tunneling, it’s like every SINGLE game. We are complaining and complaining and it seems NO ONE is listening. Can we get an update regarding this anti tunneling update? All we heard was it wasn’t going through no information on if there needs…

The Hillbilly's Winter Chill skin from Tome 6 Pass
Will there be an opportunity to purchase The Hillbilly's "The Williwaw Touch" skin? It's a skin from The Winter Chill collection, The Trapper and Dwight skins are gone now, they are from Winter Chill collection too, also there is a Clodette's skin in it. The Trapper's and Dwight s skin were available as a part of "From the…

Survivor perk idea: Deadly games
I had an idea for a survivor perk. The idea is this: activate ability, whenever activated, your aura is revealed to the killer for the next ten seconds, if you manage to last 25/20/15 seconds without entering a locker or chase during this time, gain indefinite noise reduction and no scratch marks, and if your hit while…

a discussion about personalized killer and survivor rhetoric
Hello, I’m once again back with probably one of my longest posts in forum history because I just enjoy yapping fr so as we all know, a lot of discussion goes around balancing and the state of this game on the forums. what's interesting is when the discussions that are had here have gained the attention of youtubers and…

Status for Killers?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I’ve started to think that many killers are heavily carried by aura perks. Often they run multiple aura perks in a row, which means they don’t really need much skill or game sense and can instead rely almost entirely on wallhacks through auras. What if killers had status effects,…

2025 DBD was a success
so happy we got the anti tunnel update. This game has never been better. Oh wait….

The ghoul...
I've played as a ghoul yesterday and 2 people instantly DCed and other 2 just stood still. Just because it was a ghoul. Will he be ever changed? People do refure to play against him.

January prestige rewards / stranger things rift?
Are the prestige rewards that were pushed back, coming out in january? And since the next rift starts around the stranger things chapter release, could it be stranger things themed with more legendaries since it took exxxxxxtra loooooooong to prepare?

One thing I just want changed with Spirit
Her power seems to require headphones...which I don't have yet her power ⁹requires...no killer power should require something that isn't just a control, console, mouse, or keyboard. Yes I get people where headphones but not everyone. Her power is directional...if you have headphones without them her power is all around you…

Micheal Myers extremely dull and boring almost 10 years later
never enjoyed playing against him never will there’s nothing fun about going against him

Playing survivor lately really sucks.
As per my stats.deadbydaylight.com stats, I have a 43% escape rate and a 78% killrate, survivor in solo queue just seems impossible to play right now. Peopl;e are disconnecting and giving up more than 60% of my games probably and the players are just not good enough to survive tunneling. I know people did not like the…

should spirit have a numbers-like rework?
ive started playing spirit again and its been a long time since i've generally played killer, so im getting the hang of her again. from the recent videos ive watched to get better at her, and playing live matches aswell, i've seen flute is like a must on spirit, and this youtuber said that the duration addons also make…

The forums sure are full of vitriol these past few days...
Lots of 'mask-off' moments, too. 🤔 I wonder why 🤔

Do survivors even want to play this game?
I just fill like the survivors press play button just to abandon the game. No mater if i play survivor or the killer. The game starts something happens and i hear the sound. I had the game where there two generators left na killer had only one hook stage. He cathed somone else the other tryed to flashlight safe them and…

Some Killer Changes
I was on reddit and someone asked about reworks/updates to Demogorgon, Xenomorph, Knight and Legion. I decided it would be cool to post my ideas here as well, as I've thought about these for sometime as well. Changes I'd like to see: Demogorgon: Killer Instinct Detection of Survivors close to portals is active while…

The Most Evil Build in Dead By Daylight
If you use the perks, Hex: Devour Hope, Hex: Thrill of the Hunt, Hex: Undying and Hex: Pentimento on the killer The Doctor with his Purple and Green Calm addons. You will unlock one of the most evil and unforgiving builds I've ever come across. Just look at my killrate if you want evidence of how unstoppable this build can…

The seasonal event is really boring.
Why do you keep running events that haven’t changed at all for four years? And on top of that, they last for about a month. If you’re just going to repeat the same event every year, I’d rather you implement something like a ranked match mode, even if it’s only available for two weeks. BHVR really needs to start challenging…
-
Balancing idea: Scaling perks
As the title suggests, how would the game balance have turned out if perks scaled based on team size for survivor, or relative strength as a killer? So let's say that you take a perk like Sprint Burst, and subtract 5% Haste for each survivor in your party (if the party size is 3 or more) and a 10% increase if you play…

Nerf myers
he is too op right now and a built in mori?? What happened to using offering which should be just as rare as our brand new toolbox, I swear every day I play this game and it’s more and more BS, when are we (survivors) going to stand up to this and just find other games to play to show that we aren’t playing around anymore.…

Don’t force anti-tunnel and anti-slug into the stranger things PTB
this is one of the most hype chapters since fnaf which considering what the last two chapters were, isn’t really a high bar I know, but the last thing that we need with a chapter this hype is another attempt at a system that failed and was scrapped twice.

Cheaters out of control
Make BHVR see this, cause obviously they don't care. Yesterday logged out after 3 blatant matches of cheaters. Today first match… you guessed it, blatant cheaters. These people obviously arent afraid of bans. Maybe time to get server sided checks? no? BHVR?
-
100% of the time, if you can't type in chat someone is cheating
The script specifically targets letters like c t and backspace. They do this to prevent reporting. If I can't type I can't report. I will continue to complain about this until the devs do something about the obvious cheating. If the devs are going to allow cheating then lower DC penalties by half. Or, just do something…

Video proof that killer mains control the devs game design decisions via political lobbying.

Camping/Tunneling or Gen Rushing/Toxic SWF
Either way you swing a bat 1x time you strike out three times at home plate. Your done. You are finished. You can not appease the survivor or the killer. Not until you can find an equal punishment scale for the killer sitting on top of a hook for xxxx number of seconds or a swf group that bully the killer into a rage a…

why can we still not turn off the chat censor?

Changes I'd like to see made to the Demogorgon with the release of the stranger things chapter 2
As a community, we can agree the Demogorgon has been power creeped with each additional killer added to the game. This is due to many things however, the main reason for this is Demogorgon mobility. Similar to trapper, Demogorgon has to set up his portals before being able to use them which is a massive amount of time…

Seriously just having a hard time enjoying the game
No matter how many breaks I take the game always knows what button to push to bother me. Matchmaking being the main one every time and I mean every single time I get 1 match against survivors who don't seem to be at my skill level so I destory them because matchmaking but congrats you did so well that here's twenty other…

REMOVE THE GODDAMN MAP OFFERINGS!!!!!
THEY ARE LITERALLY USELESS, CAN'T EVEN GO TO MY MAP, OR INCREASE TO 40% WHAT THE HELL?! DEVS YOU ARE HATING FUNNNNN

Can we get a new game mode option?
Like a neked mode (0 perks). Or a dark mode (no aura reading perks). Or slow mode (no booster perks). ANYTHING other than the hard tunneling and complaints from both sides. Mix it up. Let's go.

Flashlights are 2 easy
besides using lightborn which is way too stupid to have complete immunity since 1 perk completely nullifying multiple perks, items and add-ons seems OP to me its generally just too easy to dodge flashes imo i can have my entire screen filled by 4 survivors flashing me without it registering it just cause i look down or up…

Map Rotation
After moaning about getting the same 4 maps every time I put dbd on I have to acknowledge a very pleasant surprise. I played 6 games last night and not a single repeat map. 6 games 6 different maps. If it's a fix thumbs up. Pity you can't stop cheaters as another constant flashlight blind even with lightborn equipped.

Change of map rng
Dear BHVR Team, I am writing to bring your attention to the current state of Map RNG and the significant impact it has on player experience. For about a week now, while playing as The Singularity, I have been consistently placed on indoor maps. This significantly restricts the gameplay experience. I have noticed a pattern…

Curious about how some killers act
So, as someone is still new and still struggling on both sides (Slowly getting better with Nemesis I think), I have noticed when I'm a survivor, some killers do… unusual things, I'm not sure how to describe it. I'll explain the situations I've seen. A. On the Toba Landing map (I think that's it's name, it's the one with…

Nerf killers
Simple as the title. This game has a lot more average solo q survivors as per the stats than it does 4 man comps. Therefore I think killer needs a nerf. Specifically the higher tier killers such as twins, dracula, krasue, blight, NOT nurse, and ghoul. Does it mean that comp swfs will 3-4 escape almost every game? Yes,…

Is there a 'Diversion' throw distance tech/trick I'm not aware of?
Played 3 matches so far today and alrdy 2 of those had at least one blatant cheater in it (teleporting/invisible/gens finishing with nobody on them). But the other match had me baffled about something that kept happening with the perk 'Diversion'. Is there a tech/trick to make it go crazy far or no? We are talking about…

Pallet delays
I don'I don't know if it's my internet or did something change? I'll be ready to stun the killer with a pallet. Then when I push the button nothing happens. The killer gets me. It seems like the only time it works is when the killer is to far away to stun. I play on a switch. I'm not for sure what i'm doing wrong? Or is…

Why do the devs tolerate such high ping?
This is the only game I play where lag is rewarded, where your ping can skyrocket into the hundreds, and you don't get kicked or punished. Why, in nearly 2026, is this still the status quo for the game?
